College of Engineering Announces 2023-2033 Strategic Plan
裡橖眻畦 Universitys College of Engineering has announced a new strategic plan to help guide the Colleges resources and focus for the next decade.
Developed with input from across the 裡橖眻畦 Engineering community, the Colleges 2023-2033 Strategic Plan identifies areas of strength and opportunities for growth as the College furthers its commitment to igniting change for the greater good.
The Strategic Plan belongs to our whole communitystudents, parents, faculty and staff members, alumni, new friends and longtime supporters, says Michele Marcolongo, PhD, PE, the Drosdick Endowed Dean of Engineering. The entire 裡橖眻畦 Engineering community will play a role in achieving our goals, enabling us to write the next chapter of the College of Engineering together.
After a years worth of discussions with more than 140 individuals, including faculty, staff, administrators, undergraduate and graduate students and alumni, three themes emerged as key areas of focus: Teaching & Learning; Research & Innovation; and Lifelong Learning & Professional Development. At the heart of these areas was one overarching theme: Culture & Climate.
Throughout the plans development process, the College remained guided by 裡橖眻畦s Augustinian Catholic values of Veritas, Unitas and Caritas, as well as by the goals and ideals identified in the Universitys Rooted. Restless. Strategic Plan.
The COE Strategic Plan will serve as a launching point for the College to focus on its objectives, but it is likely to grow and change over time. Details about the plan, as well as regular status updates, can be found at villanova.edu/COEstrategicplan.
St. Augustine encouraged us to always add some more, always keep on walking, always forge ahead, Dean Marcolongo says. I look forward to working with our community as we shape the future of the College.
